Conservative parents have disowned their kids for things like being LGBT, being a democrat or independant, marrying/loving/caring about anyone who isnt the right skin tone or not the right religion, etc, for decades now. But now the shoe is on the other foot with kids disowning their conservative parents, and suddenly theyre crying that cutting off family "over politics" is wrong

Fuck'em. Actions have consequences. Being related by blood to someone doesnt entitle them to a spot in your life

I’ve heard they suck but I’ve never had ‘em ‘cause I’ve been vaccinated against measles from when I was little. I’d really not like to have to worry about getting ‘em now at the age of 60 because some fucking conspiracy theory wielding heroin addict slated to be HHS secretary in the Mango Mussolini’s “administration” deems it so.

I really screwed up by not pursuing a career in tricking rubes out of money.

We may not be the biggest by numbers yet, but Mastodon (and the fediverse) has proven itself to be an effective and reliable communications platform over the course of the last 8 years, and does not depend on venture capital to survive. The #fediverse is the future.

In his first term, Trump had promised a bill to address the country’s long-neglected infrastructure, but his inability to get that done made “infrastructure week” a joke. Biden got a major bill passed, but while the administration nicknamed the law the ‘Big Deal,’ Biden got very little credit for it politically. - Heather Cox Richardson https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/november-15-2024

It feels like some folks think democracy amounts to doing whatever the majority of those who voted in an election want. That’s not democracy. That’s tyranny of the majority.

If your society votes to start eating babies, you don’t start eating babies. You protect your babies with your life and you fight tooth and nail until you rid your society of baby eaters so you don’t end up as a nation of cannibals.

@BrianJopek When I was little the only vaccinations were polio and tuberculosis. We had mumps, measles, rubella, chickenpox: and I had scarletina also. One of my siblings had rheumatic fever. None of it was affirmative, pleasant or positive. My (now adult) children have been vaccinated against all and are very fortunate in that. Measles / rubella permanently affects hearing and eyesight in many: women who are in very early pregnancy carry a foetus with life changing disabilities if they are in contact with these infections. Mumps can affect reproductive organs particularly in boys and men. All of this is avoidable with a decent public health policy. Encouraging the health scammers into the market is going to cost lives.

I know there are a lot of new people on here because someone just asked me to use content warnings for photos of spiders.

I understand that people have phobias and that can be very real etc. etc. but really... might as well ask David Bowie for a content warning for being glamorous.

"...Kennedy, Jr.; Gaetz; Musk; Ramaswamy; Hegseth; Gabbard...combine narcissism, incompetence, corruption, sexual incontinence, personal vulnerability, dangerous convictions, and foreign influence as no group before them has done. These proposed appointments look like a decapitation strike: destroying the American government from the top, leaving the body politic to rot, and the rest of us to suffer."

Wishful thinking and silence are assent.

dont worry about real estate prices, millenials. between the great climate die off, the fascist purges, and the toxic chemicals in the food, housing costs are bound to drop someday

I’m going to keep repeating this until I see people getting it.

Of all the voting bases, do not scold Black women about anything. They have a right to be mad at everyone.
